Since starting it I've noticed no change in fact I feel worse with terrible depression and constantly feeling like crying I don't understand why. Anybody experienced this.

I heard a pod cast today that explained that high levels of folic acid can increase adhd and depression and anxiety. (As 44% of the population can’t process it and for some reason I can’t remember, it is a negative thing)
We should avoid folic acid based products (it’s synthetic) and instead look to supplement with methyl folate.

Sorry not much scientific info, but interesting

There are different types, sounds like you should try another one? Are you going through titration?

Is this why I feel grumpy and it"s hard to concentrate at 7 weeks pregnant?! I'm taking folic acid daily atm. What podcast was it please?

Plenty of people. Maybe you need a non-stimulant. There are more informed ADHD forums than AIBU!
